Yamaha PSR-E283 Keyboard

It has all the bells and whistles you’d expect in an entry-level instrument: an easy user interface, battery power for portability, and Duo Mode for duets or mirroring your teacher’s playing in the same range.

There’s also the Smart Chord function, something we’ve seen on the E283. This allows you to play chords with just one finger – giving you a full, textured sound even whilst you’re learning the basics.

This is further aided by the wide variety of styles available (there are 150 presets!) that automatically find the right musical accompaniment for your chord, including rhythm and bass.
